Anybody interested in discovering what Christian theology is all about? Spoiler alert - it's way more interesting than memorizing a bunch of "right answers". I'm teaching an intro class this winter that's available online or in-person and is super affordable to audit.

“We are killed everywhere, every day, without any reason,” said Qaddura Fares, a former minister for detainees with the Palestinian Authority, saying that the death penalty is simply another tool for Israel to kill “another 40 or 50” Palestinians each year.

I can’t really fully articulate this, but there’s something slightly off about describing the activity of writing theology as “research” I think.

The “Anglican Church of North America” (ACNA) - broke away from the Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Church of the USA because they were horrified by the “sexual immorality” of churches that treated LGBTQ people as equals. Glad they got their sexual morals in order.

Thinking again about why we choose the interlocutors that we do. I recently read an interview with a favourite author of mine who said her criterion of citation was love. I like that a lot, and to be honest, I do a fair bit of it myself.
